Teachers’  Courses  in  Manual  Training  and 
Domestic  Science. 

BEGINNING  with  the  fall  of  1905,  Bradley  Institute  will  under- 
take to  prepare  teachers  of  Manual  Training  and  Domestic 
Economy  for  elementary  and  high  schools.  In  the  found- 
ing and  organization  of  the  Institute  most  liberal  provision  was 
made  for  work  in  these  two  lines,  and  they  have  received  great 
prominence  in  its  curriculum.  The  demand  on  the  part  of  stu- 
dents for  special  instruction,  and  from  schools  for  teachers,  has  led 
to  the  decision  to  utilize  the  extensive  equipment  still  more  fully,  and 
by  some  additions  to  the  work  as  now  organized,  to  give  a well- 
rounded  preparation  to  those  who  desire  to  teach  these  subjects. 
Two  groups  will  be  offered  : 

I.  A Group  Preparatory  to  Teaching  Manual  Training. 
Requirements  for  admission : 

(a)  Four  years  of  approved  Academic  work. 

This  Academic  work  should  include  English,  Mathematics, 
Foreign  Language,  Science  and  History.  It  should  also  include, 
if  possible,  work  in  (a)  Freehand  Drawing,  and  (b)  Woodwork  and 
Mechanical  Drawing. 

Those  who  fail  to  present  (a)^and  (b)  may  supply  this  lack  by 
taking  courses  in  the  summer  school  (July  5- Aug.  9)  or  these  and 
any  other  Academic  subjects  lacking  may  be  taken  at  the  Institute. 

(b)  Collegiate  Study , covering  a period  of  at  least  one  year. 

Teaching  experience  may  be  accepted  in  individual  cases  as  a 
partial  or  complete  substitute  for  this  collegiate  study. 


A certificate  will  be  given  to  those  who  present  these  require- 
ments and  also  complete  the  following  courses: 

1.  Manual  Training — Theory,  History  and  Organization, 

i major 

2.  Manual  Training  for  Elementary  Schools,  . 2*majors 

3.  Woodworking, 3 or  2 ‘majors 

4.  Metalworking,  .......  2 majors 

5.  Drawing, 2 majors 

6.  Decorative  Design,  ......  1 major 

7.  Textiles, 1 major 

Candidates  who  have  already  taken  considerable  work  in 
Drawing  may  substitute  Framing  and  Woodturning  5,  Pattern-mak- 
ing 6,  and  Cabinet-making  7,  (3  majors  in  all),  for  Drawing  (2 
majors),  and  Woodworking  (1  major).  (The  numbers  after  courses 
are  those  of  the  Institute  catalogue). 

In  special  cases  the  following  substitutions  will  be  allowed: 
Machine  Tool  Work,  26  for  Decorative  Design  20,  or  for  Man- 
ual Training  for  Elementary  Schools. 

Freehand  Drawing  12  for  Decorative  Design  20,  and  Textiles. 
Freehand  Drawing  13  or  Drawing  from  the  Antique  and  Figure 
Composition  19  instead  of  parts  of  Woodworking  1 and  Metalwork- 
ing 2. 

Sewing  and  Dressmaking  instead  of  Metalworking  2. 

This  group  is  especially  well  suited  to  those  who  have  already 
proved  their  ability  to  teach  other  subjects  and  are  now  desirous 
of  fitting  themselves  to  teach  Manual  Training.  To  those  already 
engaged  in  teaching  that  subject  it  offers  new  points  of  view  and 
advanced  study.  Many  students  will  find  it  advantageous  to  spend 
two  years  in  this  group  instead  of  one.  This  will  enable  them  to 
broaden  their  preparation  for  teaching  by  adding  several  elective 
courses  not  named  above,  and  in  some  cases  it  will  be  possible  to 
secure  both  the  Manual  Training  certificate  and  a diploma  of  the 
Institute. 

II.  A Group  Preparatory  to  Teaching  Domestic  Economy. 
Requirements  for  Admission : 

Four  years  of  approved  Academic  work . 

This  should  include  English,  Mathematics,  Foreign  Language, 
Science  and  History.  A year  in  Physics  and  a year  in  Chemistry 
with  strong  laboratory  courses  in  each,  and  if  possible  Drawing,

should  be  included  in  the  high  school  course.  ''^fty'ftigll  scKbol 
subjects  which  are  lacking  may  be  taken  at  the  Institute.  This  of 
course,  would  mean  that  a longer  time  would  be  needed  to  complete 
the  work  required  for  a certificate.  College  graduates  who  have 
had  some  technical  training  may  complete  the  course  in  one  year. 

A certificate  is  granted  to  all  who  present  the  requirements 
for  admission  and  complete  the  following  courses : 

1.  Cooking  (Domestic  Economy  4), 

2.  Decorative  Design  (Manual  Arts  20),  . 

3.  Plain  Sewing  (Domestic  Economy  1), 

4.  Textiles  (weaving,  spinning,  basketry), 

5.  Sanitation  (Domestic  Economy  5c), . 

6.  Home  Decoration  and  Art  Needlework, 

7.  Chemistry  of  Foods  (Chemistry  3c), 

8.  Food  and  Dietetics  (Domestic  Economy  5 a.  b.),  . 

9.  Human  Physiology  (Biology  4), 

10.  Bacteriology  (Biology  5), 

11.  Household  Administration,  .... 

12.  Dressmaking  (Domestic  Economy  3),  . 

13.  Emergencies,  Home  Nursing  and  Invalid  Cooking, 

14.  Teaching  of  Domestic  Economy,  .... 

(The  numbers  after  courses  are  those  of  the  Institute  catalogue). 
Those  who  present  four  years  of  Academic  work  including 

Physics  and  Chemistry  should  be  able  to  secure  the  certificate  in 
two  years.  During  these  two  years  24  majors  should  be  completed ; 
the  19  required  majors  are  specified  above,  leaving  5 majors  for 
elective  work  which  should  be  preferably  in  subjects  outside  of 
Science  or  Domestic  Economy.  Those  who  are  given  credit  on  en- 
tering for  some  of  the  required  courses  may  gain  more  time  for 
electives  and  thus  secure  a broader  culture  or  may  obtain  the  cer- 
tificate in  a shorter  time. 

Those  who  have  completed  the  Science,  Literature  or  Classics 
Groups  at  the  Institute  may  secure  the  certificate  by  one  year’s  ad- 
ditional work. 

All  those  who  are  interested  in  the  courses  of  study  outlined 
above,  or  the  other  work  offered  by  the  Institute  are  requested  to 
correspond  with
